So does this make T:V "Abandonware"?

I've never understood to definition of abandonware. If the owner of the product states that they are no longer supporting it, does that make it abandonware?

nope. They can, and will, still make money off of it as it's still on shelves, so it's not exactly that.

Isn't something along the lines of: A product that has not been on the market for five years is considered fair game?

I don't get it a patch would make more people buy the game right?

What is abandonware?

The term abandonware was coined sometime in 1997 by classic game enthusiasts to refer to any game, regardless of age, that has been discontinued by its publishers. Due to the natural lack of organization in such fringe area of the law, the concept has, over time, been unfortunately misused to refer to any game that is 5 years or older (or 3, in some cases) regardless of whether or not it has in fact been discontinued. We believe that the definition of abandonware as it was first conceived is the only viable definition that draws a clear and only line between abandonware and "warez": abandonware has been discontinued by the developers, while warez have not. While both are illegal, the motives and principles behind each are miles apart.

Does it make it abandonare? no, it makes it a broken piece of shit
